A GRACIOUS teacher, who offered a ride to a 30-year-old man, was later robbed by the same man on Friday of his white and black XR 150 motorcycle (CH 4728) in St. Ignatius Village Central Rupununi, Region Nine.

According to the police, the 36-year-old teacher of Region Nine was flagged down by the alleged suspect who is unknown to him.

The teacher was at the time proceeding north on Parikwarunau Village Access Road heading home when the suspect asked him for a lift to St. Ignatius Village and he obliged.

Police said as they reached St. Ignatius Access Road, the perpetrator asked the victim to stop for him to urinate and so, he did. The robber then placed a knife to the teacher’s neck and ordered him to get off of his motorcycle and he complied.

The suspect then rode away with the victim’s motorcycle. The area was combed for the robber and he was contacted about 21:00 hours, in his neighbour’s yard.

He then took the police to a bushy area in Kumu Village and the motorcycle was found in some bushes. The suspect is in custody pending further investigation.
